Hooking Up For Credit
by: Deborah Lambert, February 22, 2008
When Family Security Matters released its 2nd annual tally of “America’s Most Dangerous College Courses,” reporter Jason Rantz noted that little has changed on college campuses.
He said the fact that professors incorporate rants about George Bush, the war on terrorism and social justice into their class sessions means that students are being seriously short-changed.
Among the courses on the 2007-2008 list is “College Sexualities,” offered by Occidental College, which studies the “hook up” culture of college students. “Offering not an iota of academic value,” Rantz says that “the course aims to debate such titillating questions as, ‘Do hook-ups require drunkenness?’, ‘What are college students’ sexual identities or dis-identifications?’ and ‘What are the political ramifications of identifying as gay, lesbian, straight, bi, queer, asexual, spectral, or something else?’”
Another course on this year’s list is “Body Politics: Power, Pain and Pleasure” at Williams College.

My wife is taking a literature course at Northern Virginia Commmunity College and the “instructor” shows up to class with Obama crap plastered all over her stuff. She rants about the Bush Administration and looks like a filthy hippy.
I took a communications class at NOVA last year, and the instructor would talk about how military helicopters all have racist names and how SUVs are going to ruin the world and that China is great. Despite my eye-rolling I still got an A!
You don't need to pay big bucks to learn about the depravity that's promoted by liberals. Turn on the TV and you have it.
No, but it can't hurt.
I told her not to rock the boat. Just ignore this hippy and do what you gotta do to get an ‘A’. Her history class is different. The textbook is from some lefty author, but the instructor works for the state dept full time and uses the text as a way to set the record straight via lectures.
